First, I am new to this forum but joined because it seemed to be robust and active.
I bought my first 'gas powered' (vs electric) chainsaw from Home Depot, an Echo CS400. I am somewhat happy with it for around the home use, have cut down a few trees that died, so forth. But noted it appeared to be dull (chain)... bought new, went to install. Seemed simple enough until I went to reassemble (chain was fine, oriented
right, so forth) but the "brake band" fitting over clutch drum seems to be impossible (notes say 'if it doesn't fit over the clutch drum turn screw counter clockwise'...)
Well, no joy. I have a useless chainsaw because the brake band won't go over the clutch drum. Any help appreciated. The price of dynamite precludes me doing what I want. Thanks.
